Fox Cancels Almost Human

Fox has cancelled the sci-fi crime series “Almost Human.” The show, which starred Karl Urban (the Star Trek and The Lord of the Rings franchises) and Michael Ealy (“Sleeper Cell,” “Common Law”), premiered last November and concluded its 13-episode run in March.

Executive produced by J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, “Lost”) and J.H. Wyman (“Fringe,” The Mexican), “Almost Human” was set in a future world where police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. The series followed the week-to-week missions of John Kennex (Urban), a detective and sole survivor of a devastating police ambush, and his robot partner, Dorian (Ealy), as this buddy-cop duo solve cases and fight to keep the lid on dangerously evolved criminals in this futuristic landscape.
